Essential for worker safety, PPE acts as a vital shield against hazards, playing a key role in both emergency response and recovery efforts.  The surge in the industrial head protection market can be attributed to a growing preference for eco-friendly materials. As companies adopt sustainable practices and source raw materials such as fossil fuels for safety helmets, there is a heightened demand for personal protective equipment that aligns with environmental safety standards, driving overall personal protective equipment (PPE) market growth.

Export Bans and Trade Restrictions During COVID-19 Pandemic Obstructed Market Growth

More than 20 economies implemented export bans and trade restrictions, adding to the hurdles faced by the PPE market. These measures hindered the smooth flow of personal protective equipment products across borders, limiting the availability of essential protective gear where it was needed most. The trade barriers impacted the quantity of PPE and also contributed to increased pricing, making it more challenging for healthcare organizations and consumers to procure the necessary protective equipment at reasonable costs.

Honeywell International Inc. Raised Production and Manufacturing of N95 Masks To Meet the Growing Demand for Masks

In March 2021, in response to the heightened demand for masks during the COVID-19 pandemic, Honeywell International Inc. significantly increased the production of millions of N95 masks in the U.S. The company expanded manufacturing activities at its Smithfield to meet the surge in demand for respiratory protection.

Growth in the Construction Industry to Propel Market Growth

The flourishing infrastructure and construction projects in key markets such as the U.S., China, and India create substantial opportunities for PPE market expansion. With a surge in construction activities and a notable focus on safety regulations, there is an increasing demand for personal protective equipments to mitigate risks and ensure worker well-being.

However, the market faces hindrances due to a lack of consumer awareness regarding workplace hazards, coupled with the sale of substandard and inexpensive PPE.
